Robin Hood was not the only legendary individual to live in Sherwood Forest. America’s 10th president – John Tyler – did too. But unlike Robin Hood, Tyler was never much of a hero; he had few friends and his neighbors despised him. When he died no one outside his family seemed to care.
Enchanting! That was the word used by one observer as a parade of cars left New York City at 3 o’clock Friday afternoon, September 8, 1911, on the annual Glidden Tour. Millions watched as the cars passed through the eleven cities itinerary before their destination in Jacksonville on September 19. Postcards recorded almost every mile.
